Thanks for all your well-wishes! I'm still sickly. I haven't been this sick in a long time, poor Dad had two girls to take care of this weekend. I slept away most of the weekend, living off of cough drops, Klondike bars and the peanut soup Dad was kind enough to make me because it sounded good.

Since then I've been getting better but by inches, continuing to cough and sniff but with my sore throat replaced by laryngitis. I’ve been spending my time trolling the internet, organizing computer files and coding my website. I'm at the point now where I'm feeling well enough to not sleep the day away but not well enough to get back to real life. It's terribly boring and uncomfortable.

Yesterday I had enough energy to do some beading so I started on the next Peacock panel. That felt good. I'm keeping a log this time so I worked for 2 hours 45 minutes to get this far. Not too bad. Progress will be slower now though. The gold and silver beads go much faster than the green. I tend to have to rip them out less too which is a factor. :P
